To ALL WHOM IT MAY eoNcERNi Be it known that I, H. Y. LAZEAmof the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new 'andimproved Apparatus for Broiling Steakby Gas -and I do hereby declare that the following` is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, which 'will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, vreference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part'of this specication.

This invention relates to a new andimproved apparatus forbroiling meats or steaks by gas or over a gasstove;A and it consists in arranging a closed casing or double-walled upright cylinder Overa. gas-stove, in such a manner that the W'ir'e steak-broiler with the stealris inserted therein, and the `steak broiled simultaneously on both sides; and also'in the arrangement for protecting vthe grease or juices Awhich exude from' the steak from burning, and-in the' general formation and operatiouof the' apparatus, as will be hereinafter described.

Figure 1 represents the casing or cylinder as when in use, standing upon a. gas-stowefthc latter being seen in red color.' I i v Figure 2 is a vert-ical section ofthe saine through the linea'l x. Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. A is the cylinder, which is made of tin or other suitable metal, composed of two oval casings, which, when placed together, leave an annular space between them, as seen in the drawing.

B represents the 'annular space. l l C is the lire-chamber o r interior of thecylin'der in` which the broiling is done. D is the wire steak-broiler in which the steak is supported. i

E is a V-'sha-ped trough, against which the iame impinges, and is spread or divided, and rises on each side,

as seen in the' draiving. l

F' represents the drippingpan in which the'bottom ot' the broiler rests, and which receives the fat or.juices .from the meat.

grease in the dripping-pan, and thereby preventing smoke in the operation of broiling.'

Thedripping-pan Ftrests on plaster of Paris or other goed non-conductor of heat E, with which the V-shaped trough` E, is filled, or nearly filled, as seen, for the purpose of preventing the heat ofthe flame from burning. the

G is the cover, ivhichistaken off for inserting the steak, and is then put on, and the broiling-chambcr closed at' the y'top while the steak is being broiled. p

h represents oriiicesthrough the sides ofthe inner casing, which allovv of the discharge of the heated air or gases from the broiling-chamber C into theannularspace B, which gases descend,and are discharged into the atmosphere through the orifices z' near the bottom ofthe outer casing.

J is a door in the end ofthe casing, for admitting the dripping-pan. y

By this arrangement the steak-is broiled or cooked upon each sidesimultaneously.

The fat and juices 'are caught' in the pan A4F, and protected from burning by the filling EAIV The apparatus is very simple and durable, and the operation is-perfec'ti i I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentl I. The V-shaped trough E and the filling E', by wvliie'h the arne is divided, and the grease protected from burning, and smoke thereby prevented, substantially `:1s-described, in combination with a gas steak-b roi-ler.-

2. The annular space B and the orifices and `z', substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

3. An apparatus for b roiling steak Iby gas,` whereby the steak is'broiled or coo-lied simultaneously on both sides, or wherethe sides are equally exposed to theame and heat, substantially as shown and described.

The above specification ot' my invention signed by me, thislOth day of June, 1868. Y
